Chances are that if you're in the Seattle car community you know Matt Adair, but you may not know his story! Matt is a regular at events and the track. He's worked with cars all his life; be that selling them, writing about them or wrenching on them for endurance racing. He got involved with off road racing and was an early contributor to an event many call the "Burning Man" for Off Road Racing.
I sat down with Matt at Dobson Stuttgart (Check out my episode with Dominic Dobson) to talk about all of this as well as a lot more!
My thanks go out to Matt for his time!
With the majority of songs on the podcast, I work with the guest to select one of their favorite artists.
Song: I am a highway - Audioslave!

Danny P on Cars! Peter Gleeson - We talk more about his BMW collection, finding the 1972 Olympic Rally CSL, getting chassis #1 BMW 2002 Turbo and a lot more! Part 2
What happens when two brits sit down over a cup of tea and some digestive biscuits to talk cars? Well .... I spent over two hours talking cars with Peter Gleeson. Peter is a well known (and loved) Seattle car collector. His collection mainly focuses on BMW Motorsport - the best road car and race car but to me it's a lot more than that!
This is part one of a two-part episode and we talk about the significance of motorsport for BMW in the 70s, where his love for cars came from and some of the pearls in his fantastic collection.
There are a number of cars in his collection BMW would love to own!
I feel very lucky to know Peter and am so grateful for his time, enjoy!
Song: What's going on Marvin Gaye

Danny P on Cars! Hot Rod Bob - We talk drag racing, British cars, Californian car culture and a whole lot more!
You don't get a nick name like Hot Rod Bob without a few stories. Bob Beck is a Californian car guy who's followed his passion his whole life. When people have said to him "you can't do that!" his response has been "just watch me!"
He's pretty much done it all in the car world; built and modified cars, worked for BMW and Nissan, written about cars and even raced them. He's hosted a TV show, been a journalist for various magazines and event been a commentator following in the footsteps of his heroes!
This episode is a first for Danny P on Cars! It's the first time I've worked with a guest I didn't know! My thanks to Bob for his time and for sharing his story with me!
For each episode I try to work with the guest to understand who their favorite artists are.
Song: 409 - The Beach Boys

Transcript
MA Master with all edits and sound
[00:00:00] What is it about cars? Why do we love these inanimate objects? Why do we scour auction sites looking for dream rides? Why do we spend our weekends meeting up with others to lurk and talk about each other's cars?
Why do we spend hours creating build to manufacture's websites?
Cars should be about more than just getting A to B. My mission with this podcast is to share more about our tribe trying.
This is Danny P on cast.[00:01
